Hi,
I'm dual-booting my desktop with BCD between Win7 and OpenBSD.
My disk has two primary partitions, one for Windows and second one for
OpenBSD.
I just updated to latest snapshot via normal process but after rebooting
I get stuck on ERR M.
Same thing happened on last update as well.
Last time I got things going by booting via CD and re-doing steps
detailed in http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#Multibooting
The FAQ tells that the causes for ERR M might be incorrectly run
installboot or alteration of /boot file.
Is this common occurance? Does the boot file change on each upgrade or
is there something more happening here?
I'd hate to do the PBR update steps after each update.

Hi Timo,
I used to get this when I forgot to update the openbsd.pbr as part of
the upgrade process. I think you have to upgrade the pbr on windows as
part of the upgrade process - on WinXP overwriting the existing pbr file
with the new one was enough - not sure if this is the case with Win7.
